MTL - Tomb Raider: Bandit Chief-Chapter 24
In the blink of an eye, five days passed quietly.
In the past five days, the luck value in Wei Chuan's hands has increased a lot, and he has even collected a batch of aged elixir and various ancient pills.
They were all sent by Chen Yulou.
Knowing that he could really refine elixirs, Chen Yulou was also eager to ask Wei Chuan to refine a few furnaces of elixirs in exchange for heavy treasures.
However, this Chen Yulou is really righteous. Wei Chuan was asked to refine some medicines for self-defense of his subordinates, such as coagulating blood pill, grass returning pill, breaking illusion pill, etc.
Wei Chuan didn't refuse either. After all, as long as there are medicinal materials for this kind of Fandan, he can refine one or two hundred pills a day.
After all, Chen Yulou also sent him a large number of elixir, and opened the treasure house to let him choose a lot of ancient artifacts with high luck value.
So Wei Chuan was not stingy, he gritted his teeth and gave Chen Yulou a Longli Bone Cleansing Pill.
Anyway, there were still four in his hand after delivering them, and he couldn't finish them in a short time. If necessary, practice later.
Just treat him as a friend, and Chen Yulou is also worth making friends and investing in.
The night before the departure, everyone gathered for another table, and even Mr. Chen showed his face at this table.
In front of the old father, Chen Yulou finally revealed his heart after drinking, saying that he just wanted to carry the signboard of Xiling and get a word of approval from the old father.
It was rare to see his son bow his head, and Mr. Chen felt relieved when he bowed his head. After a few words of encouragement, he went back to the room alone with emotion.
Afterwards, Chen Yulou seemed to be a different person, with arrogance and restraint, and a sense of calmness exuded. It's like being reborn.
He also directly stated his ambition, and now he has countless gold and silver in his hands. He also monopolized Xiangyin's smoke, earth and arms business, so he no longer has to do more business.
Moreover, his subordinates controlled more than 100,000 thieves and bandits in 63 provinces in the south and north, and secretly supported three or four groups of warlord forces.
He wants to fight for the world!
Hearing this, Wei Chuan also gave him a suggestion.
It is now the 21st year of the Republic of China.. that is, 1932 in the other world!
Since last year, the Central Plains has been in chaos, and the island thieves have come and acted rampantly.
He has forgotten a lot of little things about the plot, but some things are lingering in his mind.
Five years later.. 37 years, chaos..
So when Chen Yulou said that he wanted to fight for the world and help the common people in the world, Wei Chuan told him some important "opportunities" using divination as an excuse without even thinking about it.
No matter what, everyone is from the Central Plains, and they are all of the same race.
If Chen Yulou starts recruiting troops from now on, accumulates strength, and recuperates in five years.. Five years later, when the island thieves arrive, he will definitely be able to kill him twice. Don't talk about the world, the hero can't escape.
Seeing Wei Chuan's serious face when he mentioned the "big chaos", Chen Yulou was also shocked and remembered it in his heart.
One night passed in a hurry.
The next day, just after dawn, Wei Chuan woke up from his sleep.
Today is the day to leave Hunan, and next, he will take Xiao Hei and the three brothers Partridge Whistle to Heishui City in Xixia.
(Please, please don’t shut me up in the little black room!)
Chapter 47
After breakfast and saying goodbye to Chen Yulou and others, the group of five left Chenjiazhuang.
"The leader of Xiling..."
"Chen Yulou has kind thoughts and great ambitions, so he can be called a hero!"
Looking at Chenjiazhuang City Tower waving goodbye to Chen Yulou, Partridge Whistle turned around and sighed twice.
Hearing what the partridge whistle said, Wei Chuan said with a smile:
"Being tempted? It's still too late to turn around now. If the two of you join forces, it won't be difficult to make a career out of this troubled world, and you might want to leave your name in history."
"I moved mountains.. I didn't want to be rich, powerful and famous. I only wanted Muchen Zhu. If I can find Muchenzhu and save my people.. I will have no regrets."
Partridge Whistle has a lot of obsession, but anyone who knows the secret of moving mountains can understand it.
If you can't find Muchen Bead, you will definitely not survive half a hundred years. What can be done?
"Brother Wei, the Heishui City in Xixia has been buried under the yellow sand for seven hundred years. If you want to find this Heishui City in the vast sandy land, even my secret technique of moving mountains can't do it. Please also ask Wei Brother, use the feng shui secret technique of gazing at the stars to discover the location of Heishui City."
Hearing this, Wei Chuan nodded in response.
"But it's not difficult. After all, what we're looking for isn't the real ancient city of Heishui. What we're looking for is the Xixia Treasure Cave hidden under the Tongtian Great Buddha Temple."
"In Shaanxi, even ordinary people know some legends about Heishui City and Tongtian Dafo Temple. Heishui City was originally called Heicheng, but because it is located in the lower reaches of Heishui River, it was gradually called Heishuicheng. "
"The Heishui River crosses the desert of Shaanxi, and its scale is huge. Even if it has been dry for hundreds of years, there will be traces to follow. As long as you find the riverbed of the Heishui River, you can find the Tongtian Great Buddha Temple. The big city in the desert... Naturally, it is not far from the water source of the oasis!"
Although the Heishui City in Xixia disappeared for hundreds of years, the story has been passed down in Shaanxi. Just like Pingshan in Hunan, it is actually not difficult to find. The difficulty is how to enter and where to enter.
Partridge Whistle is very capable, but he doesn't know the art of Feng Shui. In the original book, Feitian Suanni Liaochen from the Mojin school was also his teacher, and he learned the method of searching for dragons and acupuncture points. In the end, Feitian Suanni Liaochen took him to find the Tongtian Great Buddha Temple.
He still remembered that although the ruins of the Tongda Buddhist Temple were covered by yellow sand that day, the top was still on the surface, but the exterior had already been covered by sandstone.
But for him, just doing this is equivalent to putting the whole temple in front of him. This is why he said that the Tongtian Great Buddha Temple is not difficult to find.
In addition, he has traveled through time...5,000 years at the top, and 100 years at the bottom...
Seeing Wei Chuan's confident face, Partridge Whistle was sure, and his pace quickened a bit.
.........
After leaving the range of Chenjiazhuang, the mountain road became more and more difficult to walk. Originally, there were many mountains and forests in Hunan, not to mention that Chenjiazhuang was still located in a remote mountain.
Wei Chuan and Hua Ling walked slowly at the end, not noticing that the little black partridge whistle and the old foreigner in front of them had gone far away.
"Don't look, I have a special constitution, and ordinary people can't wield this heavy halberd."
Seeing that Hua Ling's gaze had been fixed on the ghost and **** Panlonghalberd, Wei Chuan grinned.
This kind of weapon cannot be used by those who are not possessed of precious blood and born with great strength.
Hearing this, Hua Ling shook her head.
"Actually, I have worked very hard to practice... If I am as good as you, I will definitely be able to help my brother. I don't know if our generation can succeed."
Hearing Hua Ling's words, Wei Chuan also fell silent.
He also really regrets the ending of characters like Partridge Whistle and Chen Yulou in the original book.
Each of these two represents moving mountains and unloading mountains, and they are the leading figures in the world's inversion industry.
Speaking of heroes among colleagues, except for Xiling Chen Yulou and Qianshan Partridge Whistle, no one in the Jianghu can be called a hero.
It can only be said that they are not destined..
Compared with the Laohu trio of later generations, these two people do not know how much stronger they are.
One begged for wealth and fame, and the other begged for pearls and medicine. The two became brothers, but in the end they went the way the other wanted to go by mistake. In the end, both of them broke their halberds, one was blind and the other had a broken arm. All disheartened and went to other places to spend their old age.
But now with his help, finding Muchen Bead is not difficult at all.
It was Hua Ling who reminded Wei Chuan, if Hua Ling can also have his ability... then he can rest assured a lot.
Later, you can go to the system mall for a stroll.
"Well, this is... what?"
Hua Ling, who lowered her head in silence, suddenly saw Wei Chuan stuffing a white jade bottle into her hand, asked suspiciously, and carefully looked at the bottle in her hand.
"Red Essence and Blood Pill, used for first aid for trauma. Black Grass Rehabilitation Pill, taking it can cure all poisons."
"Don't die, after you find Muchen Bead, follow me."
The two light words came to her ears, and Hua Ling looked up again, only to see that Wei Chuan had already walked to the front, waving with his back to her.
"I'm not going to die. I still need to find Muchen Bead, so that the clansmen won't die so early."
Hua Ling murmured twice, gently stroked the white jade bottle in her hand, and then carefully put it into the rucksack. Looking up again, under the warm sun, the smile on his face became brighter and brighter.
Taking two quick steps forward, Hua Ling directly opened her hands to block Wei Chuan.
Seeing the flower spirit blocking the way, Wei Chuan was puzzled and asked with a grin:
"You girl, you don't want me to carry you, do you? If you keep going so slowly, Xiao Hei and your two senior brothers will go to Shaanxi."
I saw Hua Ling's face was reddish, and she held his hand with her mouth pouted.
After pulling him back, he didn't speak, and walked straight forward with his head down.
Seeing that Hua Ling was in a weird mood, Wei Chuan didn't say a word, let Hua Ling hold her hand, and the two walked forward quietly side by side.
After a long time, Wei Chuan heard a soft voice.
"If you want me to follow you, then you have to marry me."
Hearing these words, the corners of Wei Chuan's mouth raised unconsciously, and he turned to look at Hua Ling.
"Sure, married!"
Under the sunlight, two slender shadows on the ground gradually merged together. .
Chapter 48
Feeling the sound of footsteps behind them gradually disappearing, the three partridge whistle, little black and old foreigners who were leading the way also stopped and looked back.
"Hey, I just knew..."
Seeing two figures embracing each other in the distance, Xiao Hei raised his sunglasses with a wretched expression.
"Good! Very good!"
"Yeah, in the blink of an eye even Hua Ling is old enough to start a family."
Partridge Whistle and the old foreigner also laughed with relief and sighed.
They are the Zagrama tribe, who are cursed. After the tribe reaches the age of 40, the iron element in the blood will gradually decrease, become more viscous, and the color will change from red to golden yellow. As time goes by, after the blood turns completely golden yellow, the oxygen supply will decrease rapidly, and they will die painfully due to difficulty in breathing.
Although it is recorded in the clan that they will not live past 60, the closer they get to the ghost cave, the less time they have left. Most Zagramas can't even survive 50 years old.
If you are a mountain mover, your lifespan will be even less. Running around all the year round, lacking energy, blood, essence, and vital energy, there are countless old injuries in the body, and it is amazing to be able to survive until the age of 40.
Generally speaking, the curse of the ghost hole will break out when one's vitality and blood are weakened. But if you stay away from the ghost cave, you will be less affected.
As the saying goes, there are three types of unfilial piety, and the worst is having no descendants. That's why most of the Zagramas would find a marriage before casting the spell, leaving bloodlines behind. They are also worried about damaging their marriage, so most of them are intermarriages of the same race, and they rarely marry in and out.
Seeing that her junior sister Hua Ling has found her husband, she is also heartbroken.
"Senior brother, that's why we need to find Muchen Bead!"
Hearing the old foreigner's words, Partridge Whistle's heart warmed, and he patted the old foreigner's shoulder twice.
"The Muchen Bead...is close at hand!"
Seeing the affectionate appearance of Partridge Whistle and the old foreigner's brother, and seeing the crooked appearance of Wei Chuan and Hua Ling in front of him, the corner of Xiao Hei's mouth twitched, and he thought about the hexagram that Wei Chuan gave him.
"The surname is Xie..Xiaohua..Man, how is it possible..."
.........
Although railway tracks have been built in many major cities this year, it just so happens that no railways have been laid from the mountainous Hunan to the arid Shan.
Coupled with the special status of everyone, it is impossible to deliberately detour to some big cities to take the train.
So I can only rely on my legs to get on the road.
Half a month later, the group finally arrived at Gulan County before sunset.
This Gulan County is located in the northern part of Shaanxi, and the Xixia Black Water City used to be located in this Jingbian area of Shaanxi. This Gulan County is also the only resting place before entering the desert.
Coincidentally... In the original book, this Gulan County is also an important place, because the tomb of Li Chunfeng is also in the south of this Gulan County.
This Xixia Heishui City and Li Chunfeng's tomb include Gulan County. Half of the Dragon Bone Book of Heaven is stored in each of the two places.
It seems that these two Dragon Bone Books cannot be accepted.
After finding a hotel to stay temporarily, the group of five wandered around Gulan County, inquiring about Heishui City.
It wasn't until it was completely dark that everyone returned to the hotel.
